Steem Curation as a Business Model?
<center>[![clean2.png](https://s13.postimg.org/4522x16t3/clean2.png)](https://postimg.org/image/rw1gf5703/)</center>

I see the expansion of automatic curation pools or guilds being formed for Steemit curation. It is a practice where people lend their STEEM power (private posting key) to guilds that join them together and upvote content.

This could be a viable business model. Think about it, if you set up automatic pools/guilds for this, then you can both make money, both help newbies earn money automatically, also help people earn a passive income, and also help smaller authors get noticed by sending a large wave of votes towards them.

For example:
* Jonny has 50,000 SP, and he wants to earn passive income and also help Steemit authors/curators
* He sets up a guild where people send him his private posting keys
* The different curators specify what kind of people they want to upvote, to keep their voting sovereignty, and the rules how they want Jonny to upvote on their behalf
* Jonny matches similar interest people who would like to upvote similar topic articles, so that this mechanism won't be used for controlling people's opinions
* Jonny front-runs his clients, and votes first (as a fee for his services, he should earn the most money from it), then he votes with his client's private keys who would have similar interest in that article
* The article author is happy because he got a lot of votes
* Jonny and his clients are also happy because they helped interesting articles to be noticed, and also are earning a nice passive income from curation.

I guess projects like these are doing this:
* https://steemstreet.com
* http://www.steemvoter.com

But we need more! Maximize efficiency, let's make some passive income this way!

That's all true.
But it feels like
"I'll have my machine get with your machine"
where's the human touch?

Well the thing is that the future will pretty much be automated. Human labor is pretty inefficient, in all shapes and forms, and what can, should be automated.

The problem is how to do this, in a way that humans remain in control, and in a transparent way. But other than that, automation is not a bad thing.

I'm not sure if that would work?

Well on http://www.steemvoter.com you can set if you want to upvote specific people. So for example if you are a fan of @ned then you can set it to upvote his articles, and multiple people will do it, that is what I mean by similar interest.

Or you can perhaps set more loose rules, like upvote people in #money or #art or similar.

I understand the upvoting functionality, how will this prevent someone from trying to control people's opinions?
